Definitions
- This invention relates generally to radio telephone systems and, more particularly, to cellular communication systems wherein user equipment (UE) operates within cells, and has a capability to perform cell selection and reselection operations.
- UE user equipment
- a plurality of base stations or base sites are provided, each of which has a surrounding coverage area (cell) within which mobile stations, such as cellular telephones, personal communicators, packet data terminals and the like can operate.
- UE user equipment
- the UE When the UE is capable of motion relative to the cells, then it can travel from cell to cell. This requires cell-to-cell handover procedures.
- One aspect of handover is that the UE will normally have a capability to perform surrounding (neighbor) cell signal measurement, measurement reporting and, importantly, selection/reselection operations. An important goal is to ensure that the UE is always operating with a cell capable of servicing the communication needs of the UE.
- 3GPP 3rd Generation Partnership Project
- Inter-frequency measurements for cell reselection should be performed in such a way that it can be ensured that the UE can still correctly receive paging messages, without compromising the battery life, and hence the talk time and standby time, of the UE.
- the 3GPP WG2 technical specification TS25.304 V.3.0.0 (1999-10) does not define how the UE should measure and make cell reselection to other frequencies (cells on different layers or on different frequencies but on the same layer) efficiently from both the UE and the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (or UTRAN) point of view.
- This specification does set some priorities for measurements and cell reselection, but these priorities are not optimal in all respects.
- the purpose of cell reselection is to regularly look for the best cell for the UE to camp on, and a current serving cell is changed when a better one is found.
- the criterion for a better cell is different for intra/inter-frequency and inter-radio access system reselections.
- the candidate list of potential cells to camp on includes the cells for intra/inter-frequency and intra-radio access system reselections in system information of the serving cell.
- the inter-frequency cell reselection evaluation uses the same criteria as intra-frequency cell reselections.
- the cell selection value, S is defined in Section 5.2.2.1.2 of the 3GPP WG2 technical specification, TS25.304 V.3.0.0 (1999-10) as:
- an optional Qhcs parameter is proposed for giving the operator an absolute threshold for controlling the cell radius of a micro-cell.
- the inventors have realized that problems exist in the currently proposed techniques for providing a hierarchical cell structure, specifically with regard to the cell reselection procedures.
- this invention provides a method for performing a cell reselection in a system comprised of a hierarchy of cells, wherein cells of one layer of the hierarchy have a size that differs from cells of another layer of the hierarchy.
- the method includes steps of (a) identifying to a user equipment a layer to which individual cells in a neighbor cell list are associated; (b) when performing neighbor cell measurements for reselection purposes, avoiding a measurement of cells in the list that are larger than a current serving cell unless a Cell Selection (S) parameter falls below a search threshold parameter (Ssearch), and is greater than zero; and (c), if S is less than or equal to zero, and no cell reselection to a better cell is in process, beginning a measurement of neighbor cells without regard for their hierarchical level.
- S Cell Selection
- search search threshold parameter
- the user equipment If the user equipment has made cell reselection to N different cells on the same hierarchical layer within a time Tmax, the user equipment initiates a reselection procedure for larger neighbor cells. This procedure accommodates user equipment that is moving at a relatively high speed through the cells. If the user equipment locates a larger cell, which fulfills cell reselection criteria Sn>0 and Qn>Qs+Qoffset s,n +Qhyst for time Treselection, cell reselection to the larger cell is made.
- the user equipment performs a cell reselection to the larger cell, the user equipment does not attempt to reselect to a smaller cell within a time X, unless an immediate cell evaluation is triggered, wherein the time X can be pre-specified, or can be set by the network.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communications system that is suitable for practicing this invention.
- FIG. 2 is an illustration of an exemplary hierarchical cell structure.
- FIG. 1 there is illustrated a simplified block diagram of an embodiment of an exemplary wireless telecommunications system 1 that includes a plurality of mobile terminals or stations 10 , also referred to herein as User Equipment (UE).
- UE User Equipment
- MSs mobile stations
- FIG. 1 Two mobile stations (MSs) are shown in the Figure, with one being designated MS# 1 and the other MS# 2 .
- FIG. 1 also shows an exemplary network operator 2 having, for example, a mobile switching center (MSC) 3 for connecting to a telecommunications network, such as the Public Switched Telephone Network or PSTN, at least one base station controller (BSC) 4 , and a plurality of base transceiver stations (BTS) 5 that transmit in a forward or downlink direction both physical and logical channels to the mobile stations 10 in accordance with a predetermined air interface standard. It is assumed that a reverse or uplink communication path exists from the mobile station 10 to the network operator, which conveys mobile originated access requests and traffic, as well as signaling for implementing the teachings of this invention.
- the BTSs 5 define cells, which can be different sizes, different frequencies and so forth as described below.
- the air interface standard may conform to a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) air interface, and the network may be an UMTS network or other type of network.
- TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- the network operator 2 can include a Message Service Center (MSCT) 6 that receives and forwards messages for the mobile stations 10 , such as Short Message Service (SMS) messages, or any wireless messaging technique including e-mail and Supplementary Data Services.
- SMS Short Message Service
- MMS Multimedia Messaging Service
- the mobile station or UE 10 typically includes a microcontrol unit (MCU) 12 having an output coupled to an input of a display 14 and an input coupled to an output of a keyboard or keypad 16 .
- the mobile station 10 may be considered to be a handheld radiotelephone, such as a cellular telephone or a personal communicator, and may have a microphone and a speaker (not shown) for conducting voice communications.
- the mobile station 10 could also be contained within a card or module that is connected during use to another device.
- the mobile station 10 could be contained within a PCMCIA or similar type of card or module that is installed during use within a portable data processor, such as a laptop or notebook computer, or even a computer that is wearable by the user.
- the MCU 12 is assumed to include or be coupled to some type of a memory 13 , including a read-only memory (ROM) for storing an operating program, as well as a random access memory (RAM) for temporarily storing required data, scratchpad memory, received data packets and data packets prepared for transmission, etc.
- ROM read-only memory
- RAM random access memory
- the memory 13 is assumed to store the various parameters that are discussed below in the context of this invention, which are used by the UE 10 for performing cell reselection.
- SIM a separate, removable SIM (not shown) can be provided as well, the SIM storing, for example, a preferred Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) list and other subscriber-related information.
- PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
- the ROM is assumed, for the purposes of this invention, to store a program enabling the MCU 12 to execute the software routines required to operate in accordance with the presently preferred embodiments of these teachings.
- the mobile station 10 also contains a wireless section that includes a digital signal processor (DSP) 18 , or equivalent high speed processor, as well as a wireless transceiver comprised of a transmitter 20 and a receiver 22 , both of which are coupled to an antenna 24 for communication with the network operator 1 .
- DSP digital signal processor
- the receiver 22 is used for making signal measurements used in the cell reselection process, as will be described in further detail below.
- FIG. 2 shows an illustrative hierarchical cell structure, where the numbers indicate different levels in the hierarchy.
- the highest hierarchical level typically the smallest cell, is designated as number one.
- the different layers are typically created using different frequencies, although different frequencies can also be used on the same hierarchical layer, for example to accommodate heavy loading. Although three layers are shown in FIG. 2, more or less than three levels can exist.
- the teachings of this invention apply to any hierarchical cell structure have two or more layers.
- UEs 10 From the network 2 point of view it is desirable to move UEs 10 to smaller cells, i.e., from lower layers to higher layers, or from macro to micro cells, etc. This is desirable if the loading of the smaller cells is not excessive, and if the speed of the UE 10 is not too high.
- Cell reselection to a highly loaded call can be prevented by setting a suitable value to the reselection offset parameters Qoffset s,n . These parameters are preferably set by the network 2 .
- the UE 10 detects and measures the smaller cells.
- the UE 10 makes the cell reselection.
- Cells on the same hierarchical level, whether on the same frequency or on a different frequency, are also measured in order to guarantee that the UE 10 does not lose coverage. However, cells that are larger than the current serving cell (on a lower layer) are not measured/detected unless the next condition is fulfilled.
- Ssearch is a new parameter in accordance with an aspect of this invention, and is preferably set by the network 2 .
- the parameter S defines which cells the UE 10 can access.
- the parameter S is preferred over the parameter Q, since it takes into account the maximum transmitter power of the UE, and thereby performs a check of whether the UE 10 can still access the cell.
- This search is stopped when Ssearch is larger than (Ssearch+Shyst).
- Shyst is a hysteresis parameter that is predefined in the specification, or that is set by the network 2 .
- two other new parameters may be added to the cell reselection procedure. In this manner those UEs travelling above some speed threshold can be moved to larger cells on lower layers, e.g., to macro cells, and unnecessary cell reselections can be avoided.
- the UE 10 if the UE 10 has made cell reselection to N different cells (so ping-ponging between certain cells is also taken care of) on the same hierarchical layer within time Tmax, the UE 10 initiates a detection/measurement procedure for larger neighbor cells, i.e., cells having a larger layer number that the current layer number of the serving cell. If a larger cell is found, which fulfills the cell reselection criteria Sn>0 and Qn>Qs+Qoffset s,n +Qhyst are valid for a period of time Treselection, cell reselection to that (larger) cell is made.
- larger neighbor cells i.e., cells having a larger layer number that the current layer number of the serving cell. If a larger cell is found, which fulfills the cell reselection criteria Sn>0 and Qn>Qs+Qoffset s,n +Qhyst are valid for a period of time Treselection, cell reselection
- the UE 10 When a cell reselection to a cell with a higher layer number is made under these circumstances, the UE 10 does not attempt to reselect to a smaller cell within time X, unless immediate cell evaluation is triggered.
- the time X can be pre-specified, or it can be set by the network 2 .
- Thysteresis can also be added to this activity so that the search for larger cells is not terminated as soon as the N and Tmax criteria are no longer fulfilled.
- the Thysteresis parameter can aid in the situation wherein, for example, an automobile is suddenly stopped at a traffic light.
- N, Tmax and Thysteresis are parameterized and given by the network 2 , or specified in the standardization within some certain range of values.
- Different cells which fulfill the cell reselection criteria Sn>0 and Qn>Qs+Qoffset s,n +Qhyst and which are measured based on the rules set out above, are compared to one another with a quality measure, such as Qn ⁇ Qoffset s,n or Qn.
- a cell with the greatest quality measure (Qn ⁇ Qoffset s,n or Qn) is reselected.
- teachings of this invention are not limited for use by a UE 10 in the idle mode, but can be employed as well by the UE 10 when in the connect state.
- the power consumption of the user equipment can be better controlled, leading to longer talk and standby times. Also, the likelihood that the user equipment will miss a page message from the network 2 is reduced, as the amount of user equipment processing is reduced when performing measurement and reselection procedures. Also, by the use of this invention the network operator(s) 2 are better enabled to optimize the configuration of the cellular structure.
